Instigated mild search for the pitcher but with no success. It appeared that he had left for parts unknown, with no for warding address.

Merritt was listed as pitcher for the Olendale club, and according to the report, worked the entire 10 Innings against ths Pirates. It may not be Medford's Merritt, and again It may be; nobody around town seems to be certain.
